This new dialogue seeks to answer the urgent question of how to make the ideals of international solidarity and networks of alter-globalization more resilient and capable of surviving the next pandemic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eRobert Huish i\u003c\/b\u003es Associate Professor in International Development Studies at Dalhousie University, Canada.
